Their best selling set! This set is wound with 42 gauge Heavy Formvar wire and has beveled magnets and cloth leads. The neck and middle pickups are average 50s specs, while the bridge is as hot as possible with this wire. A 5% underwind is available for an even brighter clearer tone.

Approximate Ohm Readings:

• Neck - 6 K
• Reverse Middle - 6 K
• Bridge - 6.8K

Lindy Fralin Vintage Hot  is a medium-/high-output pickup. Fat and Loud, but not messy. Has almost no quack and retains mid peak when pushed hard. Has good bass and slightly reduced treble. Not excessively dark, and mids are great. Has a really cool texture - fuzzy without being bright or losing bass. Texture is complex and the pickup is responsive. Compresses very well and harmonics are swirly and thick. Harmonic overtones are distinct, and do not wash out each other.

Bottom Line: Rocking, big, fat, and a little swirly
